10 Scriptures for the tired heart

These fall mornings always are the ones where I feel like my soul is being put together bit by bit, every piece hurting and yet, so right. The crisp morning air so pure and raw; the bright shining sun reflecting on the ground and glinting on the frosted tops of the grass. And yet, this time is hard for us wondering ones — the one where we come with our souls bare and raw; with our lives messy and never quite what we hoped for.

Yes, it feels as if the weight of the world is on your shoulders, this burden too much to bear and yet, there are no words, no ways to ask for help. This soul of yours, aching hard and hurting dull — and these bits and pieces too messy, too broken and cracked to get it quite right . But know this, beloved one. Though you walk through the darkness now, soon will come the dawn and the brightness of His light is what makes your soul just right. He will come; He will come like the brilliance of the morning sun and it will all be alright.
